Sylvain Catherine judged a response to his tweet to be of poor quality, considering that it already addressed most of the points raised. He particularly disputed the comparison between the France-Germany and U.S.-Germany spreads: according to him, the U.S. borrows in dollars while Germany borrows in euros. The spread between these two countries would therefore also reflect a gap in anticipated inflation — about 0.5 points higher in the U.S. over the past three years — and the policies of two distinct central banks. He noted that the Federal Reserve's key rate was between 3.75% and 4%, compared to 2.5% for the ECB. In his view, comparing France to Germany would actually neutralize these differences. Catherine also rejected the accusation that his estimate of an additional 60 billion in interest would immediately apply the cost of the spread to the entirety of the debt. He clarified that he had written that this amount "would eventually" be reached, without assuming an immediate effect. Regarding the liquidity of the French and German bond markets, he stated that both were among the most liquid. He acknowledged that the Bund constituted better collateral but believed that this was precisely because it was less risky. According to him, a liquidity gap could not explain a spread of 1.6 points and stemmed from the difference in risk between the two countries. He added that the spread did not directly correspond to a probability of default, as it combined default risk with liquidity or "convenience" premium. However, these components would nonetheless reflect the underlying risk gap between the bonds. Finally, he estimated that French bonds could benefit from the same advantages as German ones if they were equally safe and criticized the idea that the spread arose from Germany's greater perceived safety rather than the risk attributed to France.

Florence Bergeaud-Blackler stated that a Qatari channel had mobilized its networks to make October 17 a commemoration of 1961 and was broadcasting montages comparing the police under Papon, whom she described as a former collaborator of the Nazis, to that of today.

Masian criticized analysts for sticking to preconceived ideas without watching the matches. According to him, they expected the defensive statistics of the season to show a clear superiority of PSG over Barça, but the presented figures indicated the opposite. He added that the analysts then highlighted the individual qualities of PSG's defenders. Masian acknowledged that these players were very strong in their positions, while believing that Barça had improved defensively this season thanks to a more cautious tactic and the integration of Rodri. He described the analysts' approach as intellectual laziness. #Football #PSG #Barça (translated)

"When you want to compare with the finance law of 2026, you cannot look at the forecasts for 2027 for inflation," justifies Eric Coquerel, the president of the Finance Committee of the National Assembly, who is at the forefront of budget debates. #BudgetEducation #FranceInsoumise #Inflation (translated)

Sardoche estimated that it was necessary to compare the number of members and elected officials of François Asselineau and David Lisnard. He stated that Asselineau's UPR had almost no elected officials under its label, neither deputies nor senators, and had reached a peak of 30,000 members. In contrast, he attributed to Nouvelle Énergie, Lisnard's party, 1,800 elected officials, several deputies and senators, as well as 40,000 members, with an additional 500 memberships per day. According to him, the party could reach 100,000 members by December. He also claimed that Lisnard was the first candidate for the 2027 presidential election to have obtained his 500 sponsorships. Sardoche believed that Lisnard was not an "anecdotal" candidate and that his movement was not a bubble. He added that talking about it among peers would make a difference. #Politique #Élections2027 #PartisPolitiques (translated)

Au cours des 5 dernières années, l'inflation alimentaire a plus augmenté en France (+25%) que le SMIC (+20%). Autrement dit : sous Macron, ceux qui gagnent le moins se sont appauvris. À comparer aux milliardaires qui ont vu leur fortune doubler en 10 ans... #Inflation #France #Inégalités

Certains se servent d’une photographie prise hier à Paris pour s’en prendre à Marine Le Pen et à sa proposition d’interdire le voile dans les universités et les bâtiments publics. Mais oser comparer le voile islamique, brandi par certains comme un instrument au service d’un projet politique et d’une idéologie de conquête de la société, au voile des religieuses chrétiennes apostoliques — qui ont prononcé des vœux de chasteté, de contemplation et de prière en vivant retirées dans un monastère ou un couvent — relève de la plus grande naïveté et de la plus parfaite absurdité.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​🙄 #ForcesPolitiques #LibertéReligieuse #DébatPublic

🔴 Les chiffres sont tombés et l'ADUO 2 de Ferrari apporterait 18 cv de plus que la précédente version du moteur au cheval cabré 👊 Lors du Grand Prix de Madrid, l'utilisation du moteur ADUO 2 de Lewis Hamilton a permis de comparer les chiffres avec ceux de Charles Leclerc, encore sur l'ancienne version. Les améliorations trouvées par les ingénieurs de Maranello permettent d'avoir un "clipping" plus tard, de délivrer plus de puissance en sortie de virage et aussi d'améliorer la vitesse de pointe entre 260 et 310 km/h 📈 (🗞️ @FDataAnalysis / #F1 / #AzerbaijanGP) #F1 #Ferrari #Moteur

🚨 José Mourinho 🇵🇹 : « Est-ce que je suis inquiet parce que le Barça joue mieux au football que nous ? HISTORIQUEMENT, LE REAL MADRID NE SE COMPARE À PERSONNE, ABSOLUMENT PERSONNE. ❌ Donc je ne vais pas nous comparer à une autre équipe. Je parlerai de nous, de nos problèmes, des choses que nous devons améliorer et de celles que nous faisons bien, c’est tout. J’AI REMARQUÉ, DEPUIS QUE JE SUIS REVENU À MADRID, QU’IL EST TRÈS RARE D’ENTENDRE LES GENS DIRE QUOI QUE CE SOIT DE POSITIF SUR NOUS. »  🎙️ conf. de presse via @theMadridZone #RealMadrid #Mourinho #Football

Monsieur le Président de la République, @fhollande, Vous présentez le succès de mon livre, Le Casse du Siècle, comme l'effet d'un matraquage publicitaire. Tout serait dû au groupe Bolloré, aux enseignes Relay ou aux médias du groupe. C'est montrer bien peu de respect aux innombrables Français qui ont acheté Le Casse du Siècle en conscience, parce qu'ils veulent y découvrir la vérité et la comprendre pleinement. C'est surtout passer bien vite sur votre propre situation. Vous êtes publié par Robert Laffont, maison du groupe Editis, l'un des deux géants de l'édition française, propriété du milliardaire Daniel Kretinsky. Editis possède sa propre force de diffusion et de distribution, Interforum, qui place vos livres dans toutes les librairies de France. Quant à monsieur Kretinsky, il détient aussi Marianne, Franc-Tireur et une partie de Libération. En matière de moyens de diffusion comme de médiatisation, vous n'avez donc rien à envier à personne. Alors, monsieur le Président, j'aimerais vous poser une question simple : pourquoi les ventes de votre livre sont-elles si faibles, si maigres, si désespérément tristes ? Le mauvais temps s’acharne-t-il une nouvelle fois sur vous ? Avez-vous été censuré ? Aucunement. Muselé par le pouvoir ? Pas davantage. Vous avez été dûment et abondamment invité par les télévisions, le service public, les radios, les quotidiens, les magazines, et commenté par tous les rubricards de France et de Navarre. Pourtant, le résultat est là, et il est sans appel. En deux semaines, 2 600 Français se sont intéressés à votre essai. 120 000 ont déjà rejoint mon enquête. Les journalistes comparent nos ventes, mais je ne vous ferai pas l'insulte de comparer le fond de nos livres. On peut me trouver parfois insolente, mais jamais cruelle.

🚨🚨 KYLIAN MBAPPÉ 🇫🇷 A AUSSI ÉTÉ SURPRIS DE L’INTERVENTION DE DEMBÉLÉ 🇫🇷 HIER ! 😳 Le Madrilène n’a pas l’intention de répliquer publiquement, et les deux hommes ne se sont pas encore parlés. 👉 Dembélé avait déclaré habilement ceci en reprenant le mot “élu” utilisé par Mbappé pour comparer les deux joueurs quelques heures plus tôt 👇🎙️: « 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲 𝗷𝗲 𝗹'𝗮𝗶 𝗱𝗶𝘁, 𝗷𝗲 𝗻'𝗮𝗶 𝗷𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗶𝘀 𝗲́𝘁𝗲́ 𝗹'𝗲́𝗹𝘂.
